Prompt: Laugh on purpose – watch something funny or call someone.

Laughter is one of the most underrated forms of self-care. It’s free, accessible, and incredibly healing. Today’s May You Thrive challenge is simple but powerful: laugh on purpose.

You can choose how you want to do it—maybe it’s watching a stand-up clip, rewatching your favorite sitcom, scrolling through memes that always get you, or calling that one friend who never fails to crack you up. You know the one.

Sometimes, the best laughter is unplanned. Just the other day, my husband Matthew and I were having a totally ordinary exchange—nothing big or memorable. But then he threw in this hilariously unexpected reaction in a silly voice, and I completely lost it. I was laughing so hard I had tears running down my face and I couldn’t catch my breath. The best part? He started laughing too, which only made it harder for me to stop. We got caught in this beautiful, unexpected laughter spiral, and honestly? It made my entire day.

That’s what today’s about. Laughter can pull us out of our heads and anchor us back into joy. It lifts the fog and reminds us of the lighter side of being alive.

🌟 Affirmation:

“I deserve joy, laughter, and moments that make my spirit light.”
